Introduction

SportsterXV is a Reddit user who shared his amazing weight loss journey with the Reddit community. Through a combination of exercise and the Keto diet, he went from weighing 230 pounds to around 170 pounds. He posted a photo of himself in an old pair of pants, showing the remarkable transformation he underwent.

The Program

SportsterXV's weight loss journey began with a strict Keto diet. This diet involves eating mostly fats and proteins while restricting carbohydrates. After about five months of following this diet, he slowly reintroduced carbs and fruits back into his diet while increasing his exercise routine. He started with light lifting and running and gradually worked his way up to heavier weights.

Is Quitting Smoking a Part of the Change?

One of the Reddit users asked SportsterXV whether quitting smoking was part of his weight loss journey. Surprisingly, SportsterXV replied that he was still a smoker, suggesting that he did not need to quit smoking to lose weight.

Results

SportsterXV's results speak for themselves. He lost around 60 pounds, and he has gained muscle mass. He can still fit into his pants with a 30-inch waist. While he admits to gaining a few pounds since finishing his keto diet, he believes that this weight gain is due to muscle gain.

Conclusion

SportsterXV's weight loss journey is an inspiration to those seeking to lose weight. His approach of a strict keto diet and gradually increasing exercise demonstrates the importance of dedication to achieving weight loss goals. While his results do not reflect every individual's weight loss journey, they are a testament to the effectiveness of this method. Try it out for yourself and see the results you can achieve!
